Scottish Parliament Rural Affairs Committee Tuesday 7 September 1999 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 13:59]

The Convener (Alex Johnstone):

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great pleasure to have so much public interest in this committee. For the information of members of the public and observers, headsets are attached to your chairs and the sound from this meeting can be heard on channel 1. I hope that will assist anyone who cannot hear the proceedings. I am afraid that I have no expert knowledge of how these things work, so you will have to work it out for yourselves.
